Comparative analysis of confocal microscopy objective magnifications on dental microwear texture Analysis. Implications for dietary reconstruction in caprines
In DMTA, a wide range of microscope objectives has been used, but its variability has been little explored. • This study presents a comparative analysis of dental microwear texture through different microscope objectives. • Dental microwear allowed distinguishing between wild and domestic caprine diets using 10x/0.30, 20x/0.45, 50x/0.80 and 100x/0.80 objectives. • A greater magnification and numerical aperture offer a higher discriminant capacity…
Rethinking Wear Rate Analysis: A New Dentin Exposure Proxy and its Applications to Ancient Chinese Populations
Assessing age through dentin exposure often leads to underestimated age due to assumptions of constant molar wear rate. New methods for age-related dentin exposure accrual could facilitate cross-population comparisons independent of dietary habits and sociocultural strategies. We analyzed 3D dentin exposure surfaces in four Chinese archaeological samples to reveal variations in dentin exposure rates linked to socioeconomic practices. Linear regre…
Evaluating a dentin exposure proxy for wear rates estimations on mesolithic and neolithic populations from the near East and the Iberian Peninsula: A comparative analysis
Analysis of fingerprints on a PPNB figurine from the Tell Halula site, Syria
With the advent of the Neolithic, the first manipulation of clay for various purposes was observed. Fingerprints could be imprinted due to the plastic properties of clay. Their study and analysis can allow the estimation of the sex and age of the person who left them, thus providing insight into the social organisation of past populations. In the present study, we have analysed the fingerprints that were identified on a figurine representing a bo…
Diet in the Early Bronze Age: A buccal microwear analysis from the plain of Barcelona (Spain)
This study aims to characterize the dietary habits of the Barcelona plain (Spain) population during the Early Bronze Age. An analysis of buccal microwear has been performed on 467 samples from 20 individuals buried in the largest cemetery of the plain of Barcelona in this period, the Plaça de la Gardunya, and 1 sample from the site of the Mercat de Santa Caterina. Molars and premolars were examined using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and …

Buccal dental microwear as an indicator of dietary habits and dietary adaptation of the Byzantine people of Jordan
This study examined buccal microwear from the Byzantine sites of Yajuz and Sa'ad in Jordan (n = 15) to assess different subsistence economies. An Indian Hindu sample (n = 7) was used for comparative purposes. The results show no differences in the pattern of buccal dental microwear between the two Byzantine sites, while a difference was noted when these sites were compared to Hindus. It is probable that cultural variation was the cause of buccal …
